Article

Georgia O’Keeffe was one of the most important American and women artists of the twentieth century and a leading early abstract painter. She is most famous for her synaesthetic, sensuously colored, and painterly abstractions and enlarged close-ups of flowers done in the late-1910s and 1920s, and her paintings of animal bones from the 1930s and 1940s.
